Noah "40" Shebib Mixes Hits with Pro Tools and S5 Fusion

[@moonmann11]

i'm really glad i watched this. he's a very intellectual man, and his comments on dynamic range are so true. hopefully that changes eventually. a sidenote, it's really weird to me that an official avid video would have pops in it like at 4.23

Making sure you're paying attention, Andre Anderson. ;)

god damn. drake lucky to have this genius in his corner. it's like seeing the old man behind the curtain in the wizard of oz.

[@richardingersoll29]

He said nothing of genius proportion. I like what he said don't go out and buy everything learn to use what you have first. Everybody thinks they need omnisphere or Fab filter to have a good song... Which I have.. but you can give me xpand2 which ironically was included in pro tools as a plugin years and years ago. you can find it for twenty bucks or free with a key station.

[@richardingersoll29]

But I'm nowhere near his level

[@ScoutSniper1990]

Yeah between him and whoever writes his lyrics that day. Cookie cutter. He has the talent to do it himself who knows why he doesn’t. Maybe he’s too busy.

[@richardingersoll29]

@@ScoutSniper1990 too busy??? Just like movies, rappers and musicians lose money at some point. It is very rare to have a career like Drake's. this is why he's following the formula. he finds what's coming up Alicia's off of it makes an album surrounding it and Bam

[@DANOVERBOARDvlogs]

Cool. I went to school with Noah. Knew his shit then, and he certainly knows it now.

[@TwerkWind]

What major did he take? I really want to get into mixing and producing.

[@DANOVERBOARDvlogs]

We were in a one year vocational audio engineering crash course. Ariana Grande's Husband​

[@TwerkWind]

Daniel McIsaac Did they teach you a lot? I might take a course next year. I'm really into music and the whole music industry.

[@DANOVERBOARDvlogs]

Well, our course was back in '03/'04, and maybe things have changed/improved since then. Yes, they taught a lot as it was an intensive full-time course condensed into about 9 months. However, I don't fully recommend the school we went to, so be sure to attend a reputable and recognized institution. Noah certainly didn't need to be there, it was a formality for him and which ever reason(s) he wanted to be there... I was very green so I personally learned a lot and still value the education. If it's a career you want, whilst in and out of the course be sure to network hard, and to be passionate about the industry in which ever way you choose it. On a higher level, if it's music you love - theory, acoustics, instrumentation, history and all else - get your Masters in music.

His words about Loudness are so true - it's sad that people want loudness over quality (not everyone, but almost everyone...)

and this is why this man is where he is.

[@ilishmusic]

I really like his approach to music engineering. However I would like a video where he breaks down engineering tips like Eq's, compressors, and reverbs. Doesn't event have to be a Drake session. Just a breakdown as a reference for other engineers searching for that sound.

[@deontaemusic4861]

That is true about that statement of quality and loudness. The only thing you can do is use the headroom wisely until you reach 0 db. Then use a loudness maximizer at the end stage to boost all the loudness and still have a bit of that quality still.

[@UniqueThaPoet]

It is hard a.f. Sometimes. That is still one of the things I struggle with when mixing.It sucks when it sounds good on your monitors then you hear it on laptop or phone speakers and you can't hear no bass. The struggle is real lol.
